R. T. Howard, “Migration Will Drive the Next Wave of World Wars”, in The National Interest, January-February 2018, http://nationalinterest.org.

“Today, not only does war continue to cause mass migration, but migration can itself become a cause of war. […]

MASS MIGRATION, on the sustained and massive scale that Western Europe continues to experience, creates tensions not only within states but also between them. These tensions will sometimes erupt into open conflict; already a new age of “Migration Wars” has begun.

This represents a curious inversion. Across the centuries, war has been a major, and often the main, driving force behind mass migration. […] Today, however, not only does war continue to cause mass migration, but it can itself become a cause of war. […] This is the case because of the sheer scale of the current migrant crisis. […]

The new migration phenomenon, in other words, is not just a humanitarian tragedy, but it also threatens to destabilize whole regions of the world in far-reaching ways. This means that it is imperative for every country—in the developing as well as the developed world—not just to manage the flow of people, but to tackle the causes of the migration problem at their source. More attention must focus on the phenomenon’s root causes, whether it is attributed to war, corruption or population growth. […] More radical, drastic solutions will need to be considered. The consequences of inaction will be profound for all; the new age of migration wars has already begun”.

Resumen

“El presente trabajo aborda la situación en la Libia post Gadafi. Tras el comienzo de las Primaveras Árabes surgieron una serie de actores con el objetivo común de derrocar al régimen. La caída y muerte de Gadafi, supuso el inicio de una nueva etapa marcada por la aparición de milicias que frustraron la transición democrática, y acentuaron la lucha por los recursos de poder, siendo el petróleo el más importante. El objetivo principal de este artículo radica en analizar cómo y por qué se produjo la diversificación del poder que ha tenido a Libia envuelta en una situación de caos por más de seis años”.
